Hey Alyssa! I forget if I responded to you. I'm living in Park Slope (kind of) - 17th St. with Sara (I don't know if you remember her.) Things are going well - playing with some wedding bands, salsa bands, getting to know some jazz/broadway guys. I'll keep an eye on your gigs and try to make it out next time you're in Brooklyn! Looks like things are going well for you! Kinda funny how many of us Potsdamers are in the area. I've been playing with Dan, Brendan, and Ed. Anyway - good to hear from you and, like I said, I'll try to make it out to one of your shows soon. -Pete
